Modern Harming Is reaching into what but a few years pa$t we spoke of as scientific farming. The modern farmer of this age has to deal with principles ns well as facts to succeed In competition with his . neighbor, Who has already availed himself , of the working principles that govern the production of his crops. Much of the credit for this condition must be given to the painstaking practical research work of the colleges, which has demonstrated cause and effect In practical agriculture. An experiment that does not demonstrate the principles that govern the results Is not complete and should not be accepted as reliable evidence on which to establish farm practice.

Sir William Goode, who, since the entry of the United States into the war has occupied the important post of liaison officer between the British food ministry and the United States food administration, discussed the present food situation in an address on February 13, to the London ltotary club. Few people, said Sir William, have yet grasped the fundamental fact that Great Britain still relies on the United States and Canada for 65 per cent of her essential foodstuffs. Unless we can get this food, or nearly all of it, we shall peter out. As to how we get it, the popular idea seems to be that the United States is an combination of miracle loaves and fishes and the widows crust, What I want you to realize Is the amazing way in which the energies and sentiments of the American people have been harnessed to a great national movement of organized so that the allies can have food enough to carry on. He proceeded to give a detailed account of the steps taken by the United States toward food production and conservation. The cynic will tell you, he said that it is ridiculous to imagine that the American people, living in the midst of plenty, will make such sacrifices as these for the sake of their allies thousands of miles away. The cynic will relegate President Wilson and Herbert C. Hoover to the cateIdealists. But gory of these voluntary measures can be tested by results. Early last month we received from Mr. Hoover a cablegram saying he found that, as a result of the American conservation campaign, he had 150,0.00,000 pounds of bacon and 25,' 000,000 pounds of frozen meat more than the British representatives in the United States had estimated as likely to be available. His offer was so unexpected that we had to hustle to get the finance and shipping for this winter and fall. Later on it turned out that the amount of frozen meat available was thousands of tons above the Hoover estimate. Except for the holdup of shipping in American ports due to congestion on the railways and blizzards, our bacon and meat shortage would long since have been eased by these shipments, which represent only a small percentage of the total sacrifices of the American people. It is lucky for us that a man like Mr. Hoover is at the helm of the allied food supply, and that behind him is a people willing to deny themselves so ,we may live to fight. , Large Cobs. (R. B.

For this sort of neglect there can be no excuse, it is said. Operating a machine without lubrication, when the bearings are slightly rusty, will quickly result in the wearing away of the metal, often to a considerable depth, in a very few minutes.
